$UVXY $120+ BUY CALLSUVXY is a volatility factor in the market. As political tensions rise high in the world, we are due for another market correction and overall world market corrections. USA of course is protecting its interest in the Middle East and as we can see, Israel-Palestine conflict is only getting started. This is a multi-decade war between Israel and Arab/Muslim states. However, this war is not going to be similar to previous, this will be final and deciding war in that region, after which, nothing will be left there and geographical borders will change. This is a political game because of all the resources hidden, particularly Oil, in the Middle East. I believe this time we will see a use of nuclear weapons. There will be de-stabilization in that region and rest of the world. UVXY will spike due to this. I'm not sure about my timing, but I see these tensions rising very high and markets staying volatile within near future. Please check out my other predictions as they are fairly accurate, I don't post a lot, but I think this time I might be right.

ES - Bullish Analysis Quick ES Daily Analysis - Bullish/Neutral - Building 4 Hour Bull Flag into a Break and Retest Thursday & Friday we saw a nice rejection off of 4430's backtest. Now we are at a recent break and retest level of 4340-4350 that was resistance for about 3 days from 28 Sep - 02 Oct. I'd say if we want to see more upside, this is where bulls need to hold in order to break above 4430's resistance. We are also sort of building a 4 hour bull flag into this level. We could very well dip back down into the weekly demand of 4265, but on Monday, depending on how ES's overnight acts, I'll be looking for longs in this area. If we break below this retest zone, ES could put 4300 back in play for the shorts (from a daily analysis standpoint).

S&P500 Looks like a good opportunity to grab some liquidityHello trader! I'm interpreting this setup as follows: locally, the trend is upward. After a correction driven by recent news, the price has absorbed a significant portion of the liquidity from below, which was formed during the current week. There's room to move upward in pursuit of the next liquidity. I'm placing the stop loss below the order block. 🚀Please support my efforts with the "Boost" button. ❤️And a comment is the best thing you can do for me now!

Earnings Season Kicks OffS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 10/13 Today marks the kick off of the Q3 earnings season, and a potential inflection points in the geopolitical risks with signs of potential ground operations to begin by Israel in Gaza. Geopolitical risks, high interest rates, sticky inflation - reiterated by this morning's CPI numbers, extremely strong jobs market, early signs of consumers beginning to scale back...yet, retail bullish positioning has increased this week again. Is this Fools rushing in where Angels fear to tread or retail investors having some crystal ball into the future that institutions don't have access to? Only time can tell. However, our AI-driven models (since 2018 - not a "me too AI" bandwagon hopper) have negated the bearish bias yesterday, Tue. 10/10, based on the last two sessions' price action and in line with what we have been publishing for the last week or so: "Our models indicate 4310 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated". Now, this 4310 is the main support level and a daily close below that is needed for our models to turn bearish. Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4402, 4384, 4371, 4361, or 4312 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4398, 4357, 4348, 4332, or 4308 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4380, 4375, or 4367, and explicit short exits on a break above 4353 or 4336. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:11am EST or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

If Minor B was today, final top is Tuesday stillLast night's analysis of forecasting Minute wave B said models liked it at 4 hours long, secondary agreement at 6, and third was 3 hours. It was only 2 hours old at that time of writing. If Minute B was the top today it finished at 5 hours old. The top was 40 cents above the prior high, which can only happen in a B wave which does not help rule a scenario out. The low achieved by what could be Minute wave C and subsequently Minor wave B was hit on cue today, the levels never mattered since they were based on Minute wave A's movement and not Minute B. Last night's analysis said Minute wave C in Minor wave B could be 2-4 hours long, which I thought was too short and especially hard to achieve if we did not gap down at the open. I did not think a 65 point drop in a few hours could happen today if not catalyzed by the CPI report premarket. Well it surely dropped in 2 hours. I stated the bottom for Minute wave C was favored between 4320-4345, and liked the window between 4320-4335. Sure enough, the low was 4325.43. All of these things working out support the case for Minor wave B down to have completed and now we are in the final leg up with Minor wave C. This final leg up was initially projected to see a market top around 4400, based on the adjustment made on Minor wave A's close yesterday. The top was projected to occur by Tuesday. Right now, Minor wave C up appears to last 16-22 hours which is likely a top on Tuesday between 4420-4448. This is quite a bit higher than the initial projection and above all prior 3rd quartile datapoints. Does not mean this is impossible, but it set up to overachieve the "normal" movement. Once Intermediate wave 4 is complete, Intermediate wave 5 will likely take the market down through all of earnings season. For the first time in a while this could be a bad earnings season, not sure if companies are finally or only starting to see less profit. The Fed will meet and possibly hike in this middle of Intermediate wave 5 down as well. Israel conflict may not last long enough to impact economies and force the Fed to be more hawkish than initially suggested this week. Oil is rising. PPI went up. CPI went up. Initial job claims dropped well below expectations. Initial forecast is Intermediate wave 5 down to likely last through November placing a bottom around 4100. As this would also conclude Primary wave 1 down, December could begin a 2-3 month rally during Primary wave 2 up.

🟩 Margin Debt with brokers points upWhen we look at the first chart the Margin Debt with brokers (aka how much the brokers are deploying margin) - we see a positive relationship with the times when brokers are on margin (aka buying a lot) and the market going up. When we analyse the Rate of Change of this stat for the last 15months we can see that currently we are getting to a state of bearishness close to the 2008 and 2002 periods. This of course is a contrarian indicator and could point to a move higher. This is a long term assessment, but it is a good point to include in your analysis. However remember we NEVER have confirmed of the NET NEW HIGHS - hence this market has still not confirmed Bull Status, at best we have Bull-transition. So be very cautious of the market.

Next Leg Down, Top Next WeekLooks like Minor wave A likely finished today, next up is Minor wave B. Models point to 18-22 hours of possible duration which will likely see the bottom on Thursday. There are a three pockets of interest for the bottom. I used the green box (4281-4294) for the more conservative zone, yellow (4255-4275) for the more aggressive zone and my target is the white box (4270-4285) straddling both boxes. Depending how Minor wave B plays out, Minor wave C and Intermediate wave 4 are currently projected to end early next week between 4355-4390. METHODOLOGY: I operate a modified wave theory composed of Dow Theory and Elliott Wave Theory. All data is determined from comparing current wave locations with historical wave relationships. The listed percentages are based on previous movement extensions and retracement quartiles of the data. There is too much data to list all points but overlap of the quartiles based on specific relationships tends to point to more likely targets. The light pink levels are based on most specific data, light blue is slightly broader, and yellow levels are the broader set of data used. A red level typically indicates maximum historical move for the current wave throughout the historical data.

Green to start week, low by ThursdayAs a future learning lesson, the below image signaled wave 3 of 3 of 3, wave 3 of 3, and the beginning of the end of Intermediate wave 3 as soon as the Intermediate wave 3 signal ended, I should have known Intermediate wave 3 was over as historically this is the signal. The bottom was inline with historical endpoints, however, I expected it to go about 50-70 points lower. Assuming Intermediate wave 3 is indeed over, it ended higher than originally expected which means Primary wave 1 could ended higher than expected too. I missed the beginning of Intermediate wave 4, but this analysis should assist in pinpointing the end of it. The Intermediate wave recap is: Intermediate wave 1 lost 271.76 points in 112 hours. Intermediate wave 2 gained 205.94 points in 76 hours. Intermediate wave 3 lost 324.80 points in 151 hours. This idea had quality data to forecast the top of Intermediate wave 2: This idea from August 31st forecasted the bottom of Intermediate wave 3 around October 6, which now appears to be 3 days late: Although the length pocket called out 149-156 hours long, it was a tertiary model. The answer was there but I will see if I can provide stronger forecasts in the future. I originally expected Intermediate wave 4 to last a week or two and rise toward 4450, but some of the following analyses do not favor this expectation. The initial models based on historical retracement levels for Intermediate wave 4’s top puts the maximum upward move at 4448.57, although most models place the maximum possibility no higher than 4429. A majority of movement retracement models place the top between 4355.74-4364.70 which is not far from Friday’s close. The overall movement models have strong pockets for the top between 4370-4380 and 4400-4409. Duration models are strongest at 76 hours (length of wave 2), 112 hours (length of wave 1), and 38 hours (half the length of wave 2). It is unlikely any of these will be the duration, simply because the relationships of 1:1 and 1:2 are more common in micro waves and not in macro waves. For instance, a micro wave that is 10 hours could have a wave 4 that is 5 or 10 hours because the possible duration value is limited. Macro waves which are much longer typically don’t have the perfect 1:1 or 1:2 relationships. If we keep these durations in mind, but discount them when looking for others, the models next agree the most at 56 hours, followed by 37 hours, 25, 51, 101, 30, and then 67. Intermediate wave 4 is currently 23 hours long as of the close on Friday. 56 hours ends on the afternoon of October 13. 37 hours would be in the final hour of trading on October 10. 25 hours would be within the first 2 hours of trading on October 9. 51 hours would be in the final hour of trading on October 12. 101 hours is around the early hours on October 24. 30 hours would be the final hour of trading on Monday, October 9. 67 hours falls in the early hours on October 17. THEORY 1: END OF INTERMEDIATE WAVE 4 IMMINENT Keeping these durations in mind, I have attempted to figure out which waves have already been completed in Intermediate wave 4. A 25-30 hour theory would make the assumption that Minor waves A and B are completed and Minor wave C is not, Minor wave C could do the following. Models call for a duration between 8-11 hours and the current length as of Friday’s close was 5 hours. The movement extension models call for the high at levels at or below 4317. The three historical outlier datapoint levels could have the highs at 4320, 4361, and 4427. With the majority of realistic levels all being breached, it appears unlikely Intermediate wave 4 is nearly over. Based on the levels forecast for Minor wave C in this case, it is more likely Intermediate wave 4 ended at 4324.10 in the second to last hour of trading on Friday which seems way too fast and is a red flag that this theory is unlikely. Confirmation of this theory is downward action breaking below 4216.45 this week. THEORY 2: EARLY STAGES OF INTERMEDIATE WAVE 4 If longer duration models are more accurate, the index may only be in Minor wave A and likely just completed Minute wave 3 based on the wave 3 signal at the bottom of the chart. If this holds true, the following should occur next. First we will forecast where Minute wave 3 should end based on Minute waves 1 and 2. The current median levels based on historical models place the high between 4322.98-4329.85 which is where the current high achieved on Friday. The third quartile levels are between 4368.99-4388.60 while the three highest outliers sit between 4426.30-4445.64. A strong majority of duration models have Minute wave 3 lasting 4 hours or less. The only other pocket of strength is at 8-9 hours long. At the very least, it is already 5 hours and is either complete, or will complete within the first few hours of trading on Monday. No matter what, it appears the next movement should be downward. Unfortunately, this downward movement is required for both models and the only difference is the first theory would see continued declines into Intermediate wave 5, and the latter theory would see continued upward movement after a Minor wave B decline concludes. Tomorrow likely has three possibilities: (1) The index opens down in the first hour before it climbs up toward 4330 and end Minute wave 3. (2) The index moves up toward 4330 and end Minute wave 3. (3) The index moves down and does not recover on Monday. The market will then move downward to complete Minute wave 4 likely lasting at least the remainder of Monday and possibly beginning of Tuesday. After Minute wave 4 completes, Minute wave 5 and Minor wave A will end somewhere between 4340-4370 before midday Wednesday. Minor wave B would then take the market down until late Thursday or early Friday. Minor wave C will take the market upward into the middle to end of next week around 4385. I plan to continue monitoring and updating throughout Intermediate wave 4. The current placement of Minute wave 4, Minor waves A & B, and Intermediate wave 4 are nominally placed and not the final forecasted placement. METHODOLOGY: I operate a modified wave theory composed of Dow Theory and Elliott Wave Theory. All data is determined from comparing current wave locations with historical wave relationships. The listed percentages are based on previous movement extensions and retracement quartiles of the data. There is too much data to list all points but overlap of the quartiles based on specific relationships tends to point to more likely targets. The light pink levels are based on most specific data, light blue is slightly broader, and yellow levels are the broader set of data used. A red level typically indicates maximum historical move for the current wave throughout the historical data.

SP500 BULL ACCUMULATIONHello! I see SP500 has formed some bottom on 12H timeframe and closed beyond previous 12H High Point. Bulls are gaining more strength in this market, that has seen 3 weeks of countinious decline. It looks just about to swing higher. Taking into consideration that previous weeks NFP data came out much stronger then forecast, about 330k new payrolls added to the economy tells of a strong labor market. This adds to the FEDs case to raise interest rates further and would be bearish for the SP500. This was not the expected market reaction, instead a small decline was followed by a steep increase and that is telling me bears are running out of steam. Write in the comments what you think will happen next week!

Stronger-for-Longer Jobs Spooking the Markets?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 10/06 As we published in our trading plans yesterday, Thu. 10/05: "With JOLTS on Tuesday, Initial Jobless Claims Numbers this morning, and Non-Farm Payrolls tomorrow, this week is all about Jobs and Jobs. So far, there is no sign of any letting up in the strength of the Job market". This morning's much stronger than expected NFP data re-affirmed this strength and quashing any hopes of a softer fed anytime soon. Since our published trading plans two weeks ago pointing out that week's 4505 level as potential top for the near term, the market has been in a free fall mode. Our models indicate 4310 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated. Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4267, 4252, 4227, or 4211 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4247, 4233, 4224, or 4208 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4264, and explicit short exits on a break above 4237. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:31am EST or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

Forget Soft, Hard Or No Landing, Higher For Longer...Is the Stock Market Dead Money For The Next 10-20 Years? So much of how our markets work is based on optimism. Can you imagine being a money manager and your entire sales pitch is some negative diatribe about how the market is going down and will continue to go down? Would you fork over your hard-earned savings based on such a story? Not a successful plan of attack for a person trying to raise capital if you ask me. However, therein lies the disconnect between what is really going on in today’s market, versus what the average person reads and hears in the financial news. The same optimistic money managers sponsor those articles or those TV shows. Would your business buy an ad on a show or in a magazine that constantly gave a negative outlook on your business? I’ve always considered myself an optimist. However, nowadays, I find nothing to be optimistic about with respect to the US stock markets. The reason is, my prevailing analytical thesis is, the markets are now entering a long-term cycle in which many aspects of our economy will be reverting to their respective long-term mean. From interest rates, to income inequality. This time frame, I refer to, is meant to be a reset in expectations. If I am correct in my analysis, this will unfold over a long period of time. During this period, many of old correlations and metrics used to determine the value of the stock market, assets in general, (housing, for example) will break down and end up becoming less useful to those who fundamentally analyze assets, stocks and the markets for a living. The cycle I am referring to is one in which none of the current market participants have experienced. Now before you draw a hasty conclusion, and think this article is about me warning you, the reader, a 1987 stock market crash scenario is on the horizon, I’ll caution you. It is not. However, my analysis shows that the market will essentially become dead money for at least the next decade or two. That means buying most market-based asset classes, and holding them, will not produce the desired results of the past. Please indulge me while I provide some background and explain. I practice a form of market analysis that is exclusively focused on price action. I guess you could sum up my work by styling me as a pattern analyst. That means stock market news, events, corporate earnings and all external data is of little concern to me as I carry out my day-to-day analysis on the SP500. I never take those external events into account while analyzing any of the markets I cover. I watch the patterns market participants create with their buys and sells. I study those patterns across the many markets I cover and over both the short and extremely long periods of time. One could say I took my mother’s advice to heart, and watch what they do, not what they say. It’s the law large crowds, and the larger the crowd, the more accurate the forecast. The SP500 contains one of the largest crowds assembled. Each day it involves millions of participants, exchanging large volumes of assets for vast sums of money. Suffice to say, my work can produce some scary accurate forecasts based on the participation of the crowds in those markets. A final anecdote to explain my work lies in a simple experiment I observed some time ago on YouTube. To illustrate the power of large crowds, a YouTuber decides to conduct an experiment. The individual fills a large mason jar with marbles. The half gallon sized mason jar is now brimming with marbles, and the metal lid is twisted on, sealing the jar. The individual then attends a local carnival and sets up a booth to solicit guesses as to the total amount of marbles contained in the mason jar. Volunteers are asked to simply observe the jar, and write down their guesses on a post-it-note. After collecting a large number of post-it-notes, the guesses are entered into a spreadsheet. Next, the marbles are emptied on a carpet and counted. 1340 marbles. Comparing the spreadsheet data, the conclusion was, although some volunteers came close in guessing the correct number of marbles, no one guessed correctly. Guesses ranged from as low as 300 to as high as 3,000. A seemingly random data set. However, under further examination, the average of the total guesses were 1335 marbles. This simple experiment explains the legitimacy of some sort of “inexplicable collective consciences” when involving a large crowd. My current bearish perspective manifests itself in this same notion of the large crowd of market participants but over an extremely long-time frame of the SP500 (INDEXSP: .INX). Below is a chart of the price action of the index from inception. To put a simple explanation on the chart above. Since the stock market crash of 1929, the price pattern of the SP500 has essentially advanced in a 45-degree angle higher. I will spare you my explanation of the labeling of the chart as to not bore you as those details do little to further my explanation of the analysis. However, I will state that all our society has achieved since in the last 150 years is notated on the above chart. The advancement of technology, medicine, communication, war and peace is all included. For me, this becomes a visual picture of some of the best and worst times humanity has experienced during this time. What is compelling, is some of those pivotal moments barely stands out on the chart. Fast forward to today. After almost a 100-year price advance from the 1929 crash, we are now entering a prolonged period of digesting all those gains. I cannot over emphasize that this area of consolidation I forecast is 100% natural and should be no cause for alarm from a pattern analysis standpoint. As stated, that is a simplified explanation of what a super cycle event wave (IV) accomplishes. Additionally, our last Supercycle event, labeled (II), is an area of digesting gains that was hastened once the events of the Spanish Flu of 1918 were behind us and that pent-up demand was unleased. In the US, those times are referred to as the roaring twenties. Cyclically there are many character similarities in our wave (II) and our current wave (IV). Chief among them was a global pandemic and the aftermath. However, in my form analysis, a wave (II) and a wave (IV) are supposed to alternate in terms of time duration and retracement depth. If one takes place over a short period of time, the other should be long. I can see this sort of alternation I refer to take place every day, as it pertains to the very short timeframes. These patterns, whether long or short term, tend to be fractal in nature. Meaning, if you removed the dates and timeframes from a 1-hour chart of the SP500 and a 150-year chart (like the one displayed above) they would look strikingly similar. To a pattern analyst, like myself, I would be unable to discern what timeframe I was looking at. Nonetheless, the patterns would be instantly recognizable. Because these fractals form and complete on the smaller timeframes, through observation we can forecast the same effects on the much longer time duration charts. These fractal patterns tend to be self-similar and repeating. In conclusion, if what I see unfold each and every day is indeed similar and repeating when observing a price pattern that is 150 years in the making, the conclusion will be a decade or two of dead money due to a long-term cyclical digestion of gains. Call it a “massive reversion to the mean event”. From things like interest rates to income inequality, a total reset to longer term norms. Additionally, if my analysis is correct, the January 2022 stock market highs will not be breached for a very long time to come. This will be a time where investors will be forced to become more creative and pickier, as it pertains to seeking a return on capital.
